SAW THE SEA SERPENT.
A VeraciOus Mariner Encounters a
Monster of the Deep i'm the Frozen



Hudson.
TIvoLI, N. Y, Jan 1.-The captain of
the schooner Mary Ann, from Down East,
was the first person who saw the sea ser
pent near Kingston point last summer. 1t
has remained. however. for man named
Brown, who lives out back of Saugerties,
to see the serpent in the Hudson in winter.
Brown reached Tivoli last night enroute
for points south. Like pretty much every
body else who has seen the serpent, Brown
was perfectly sober" He said that at the
commencement of the heavy snow storm
Thursday morning he walked a consider
able distance up the Hudson for the pur-
pose of setting his nets in the ice. Brown
fround great crack in the ice. He kept
tramping on. Suddenly, according to
Brown, he felt sensation as though the
ice was being lifted up beneath him. He
says he saw the ice roll, as it were, in waves
and then split i'll two, making similar
crack to the one he had jumped over a
short distance to the southwark. Brown
says that before the waving of the ice had
ceased strengthening animal, with eyes
nearly as large as SaucerS and of the color
of terra Gotta. glared at him fiercely. The
head of the beast remained above the ice
for several seconds, and Brown says he had
an excellent opportunity of seeing it..
Brown thinks it the sea serpent that was
seen off Kingston point and elsewhere
along shore last summer. Brown is the
first man on record in these parts who has
seen the serpent after Dec. l. Meanwhile
every crack found in the ice on the frozen
Hudson is being eagerly watched by untir-
ing small boys and boatmen, who have
nothing else to do except to chew tobacco
and ''swap" lies at corner groceries, and
perhaps one or two of the wise Washington
scientists who gave their views so gravely
to the public. and who fought so bitterly
among themselves over the matter when
the serpent was seen at Kingston point.

THE "sTAR spANeLED BANNER"
Interesting Account of Its Author.

Francis Scott Key. the author. of the
"Star Spangled Banner" and the father
of Philip Barton Key, who was assas-
sinated by General Sickles, was prom
inent citizen of the Dist riot of Columbia
when can first remember it.
He belonged to an old Maryland fam

serving for some years as United States
District Attorney. During this period
he closed the hauntS of vice at the met
ropolis. and there was less crime than
before or afterwards
Mr.. KEYS mind was inventive, imag-
alive and ye. logical. He reas oned with
great ingenuity, and, though his reason
ing was not abtruSe or very profound,
it never wanted vigor. FEASIBILITY and
effectiveness. He addressed himself to
the good sense and discrimination of the
Judge and jury, and, though in high
degree poetical, he seldom or never In

agination or the "dazZling fence Of
argument.
self to the muses., and threw out from
time to time poetical illusions which
indicated no common talent. Like all
ardent and ina ginative minds he loved
to battle in the Pierian fountains, and
to repose by the waterfalls of Hello, II.
The law, however, is inimical to poetry,
or the indulgence Of poetic feeling, and,
like Blackstone and Story, he abandoned
the muses. and devoted himself to the
arid study and laborious practice of the
law, which he regarded with reverence
as a science, and believed, with Hooker,
that her seat was the bosom of God,
her voice the harmony of the world.
His poetical pre- Elections, however,
did not altogether forsake him, and his
beautiful lyric, the Star Spangled Ban
in 10 roari1i1n of life
showed that he could not wholly aban-
don his first love,
And yet it Will appear strange that,
with all his poetical fervor his speeches
at the bar and elsewhere displayed
nothing of a poetical temperament, and
were distinguished only by great SIM

Mr.. Key died in January, 1s43, and

Simple Cure for Dangerous Disease.

DR.. T. G. Smith, writing in the Medi-
cal and Surgical Reporter, June II, 1886,
mentions the fact of his having cured
a case OF chronic diarrh9a, which had
lasted for nearly forty years, by the
administration of saturated solution
OF salt and cider vinegar, a drachm
being taken three or four times q
day.
He also states that since the first
instance where he recommended this
homely remedy without supposing that
it would actually do any good, he has
employed it several times in more or
less severe cases of chronic diarrhoa,
in which it produced great improvement,
and, in some cases, cure.
Where relapses followed the suspen-
sion of the remedy, it's renewed admin
istration was again followed by i'm

The fash3n OF making municipal cam

the nominees of the Labor party having
extended to the gooi Republican and high
tariff city of Philadelphia, Mr.. Powderly
wants 1t distinctly understood that he is
out of politics and will not hereafter
take any part in labor movements OF the
kind which in New York had Henry
George for leader. His ostensihle reason
for taking this stand is that the Knights of
Labor are no: yet formally in politics, and
until something shall occur to place them
there it will not be proper for him to
figure in any political capacity.
Mr. Powderly might have given one or
Two other reasons, also. The George
movement is stealing his own thunder,
and, moreover, it is q distinct menace to
the monopolistc interests In PennSylva-

implicit confidence, not to say most en-
thusiastic support. With Henry George
party foundeling around in Philadelphia,
the very citadel Of protection, there is no

is liable to do injury to the great cause of

Master Workman George is on the war

1t may be unpleasant for Mr.. Powderly to
see his bali wick invaded by q rampant

| WASHINGTON, Dec SI.-There are strange
rumors ight'concernfDg the immedi.
ate cause Of Senator Logan's death, Its
stated that about fcrty-eight hours be-
! fore he died it became evident to his phy-
sicians that be could not last longer than
few hours; that ne suffered great pain,
and that they concluded his last moments
might as well be made as easy as
possible. A this time, so the report
goes, morphine or some other drug hav
ing similar effect was administered, al
though Senator Logan had asked to be
| not given anything which would take
from him his senses. He realized that he
was sinking ana could not live long and
he wanted to be rational till the end
Very soon after the drug was admiuis
tered, so II is reported, Senator Logan
became unconscious, in which condition
he remained till death came. Some peo-
pie in commenting on Senator Logan's
death refer criticlsinaly to his treatment,
believing that he should have been kept
conscious. These who saw the remains
as they lay in stare in the capitol re-
marked on the dark complexion of the
face, and Il is now said the exceedingly
swarthy look was due in degree to the
drugs administered.
THE MEDICAL RECORDS OPINION.
NEW York, Dec 3l.-The Medical
Record says: The case of the late Gen.
Logan appears to be one of those rare
ones in which acute rheumatism causes
rapid fatal issue. On December u, DR.
II Baxter of Washington was called
to see m and found HIM suffering from
acute rheumatism involving the right
wrist. He improved until the 18th,
when he had relapse, hips,
ankles, feet and both wrists be-
coming involved, and brain symptoms
also appeared at this time. Though there
was some temporary Improvement, On the
2lst and 22d the symptoms on the whole
became gradually more severe, the inter-
walls of full consciousness were shorter,
until early in the morning of Dece mher
&c, when he became comstose and died
Twelve hours later. The cerebral
symptoms were those of conges-
ton of the b. ain. Acute rheumatism to
become cause of death must have some
complication, and as expected is almost
always found in fatal cases. When death
does occur it is as rule with cerebral
symptoms, as YVES the case with Senator
l. gan. Such symptoms are most liable
to develop in persons whose nervous
system has been subjected to tremendous
strains or to the toxic eff cts of norcot-
les and imulants. No doubt the ex-
hausting political and literary labors of
the deceased made it possible for this
rheumatic poison to attack and paralyze
the nervous centers, thus bringing TO
fatal issue the disease that in 81 per cent.
of cases is perfectly free from danger to
life
